Alexander Gustafsson - vs Jon Jones
Pedro Rizzo - vs Randy Couture 1
Shogun - vs Lyoto Machida 1 (yes it was his most important fight)

Jorge Rivera - vs Rich Franklin
Johny Hendricks - vs GSP
Gray Maynard - vs Frankie 2 (OK, draw, draw)
Mark Hominick - vs Aldo
Shane Carwin - vs Brock (before he gassed)

Great list you killed it No reason to post now. Covered a lot of ground.

Jimmie Rivera vs Petr Yan.

I agree. But still, it was a SPLIT decision and a FOTN against the reigning LHW champ.
What's his best WIN anyway? It might be against 38-year-old Teixeira... I rate his loss against Cormier higher.

Well, most of the youngsters get their a$$ handled by Glover...

To answer your question, I believe his best wins are Shogun (top 5 at that point), Manuwa and Glover indeed.

Cm Punk vs Mickey Gall
If only that punch landed

Thiago Santos vs. Jones. People like to rip on Jon for not having his usual dominating performance, and seem to forget how awesome Thiago was in that fight. Obviously the best opponent he's ever faced by a mile, and the dude fought like a warrior.

I don't know about the best fighter he has faced but I like your neutral stance in admitting Santos is a beast. And "Thiago was in that fight"

Cote vs Anderson possibly too; though Cote had a few other good performances.

Garcia-Phan 2

Huh? Garcia looked brawler as usual there, and Phan left no doubt who was the winner that time

Garcia tried his best but lost against the better man. But yeah, Phan also won the first fight

Obviously not their best performance ever but Chuck looked the best in years against Franklin before the KO
Pearson vs Sanchez
Gustafsson vs Jones
Stephens vs Edgar
